Welcome Deb and what a neat legacy. You have a very late hammergun (as indicated by the 'H') made in 1923. The underside of the barrels should be marked 'Royal Steel'. More information is here http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/16112070 It is likely that the gun was part of a large order from a sporting goods or hardware store, but it is possibly that a Research letter would identify the original purchaser http://www.lcsmith.org/shotguns/researchdivision.html Please be sure that your son does not use the gun until it has been evaluated by a gunsmith.
